Requirements Before Your Aid Disburses

• Enrolled at least half-time in a program leading to a degree at University of Iowa.  
• No outstanding charges from a previous term.
• Complete, signed, and returned loan promissory note(s).
• Completion of Entrance Loan Counseling, if you have been awarded the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan(s) and you are a first-time borrower.
• Not in default of any educational loan, including short-term emergency loans from Heartland ECSI

ECSI loans are billed separately (sent to your home address that is on file; not your U-bill).

If all the above requirements are met, your aid package will typically disburse the first day of class (each semester).

Disbursements by Class:

• M1-M2s have fall/spring disbursements with tuition taken out each semester.
• M3-M4s have fall/spring disbursements with tuition taken out from fall/spring semesters. Summer aid disbursement will have a student health fee, a recreation fee, and a mental health fee taken out.  The combined amount of those fees will be $138.37.
